virtualization - Do virtualised machines require separate software licenses? -


i have windows 7 machine, various reasons need have access windows xp also.

i know it's possible me have windows xp virtual machine set up, can have use of both.

irritatingly, i've got situation must have visual studio 2008 installed on windows 7 , xp (don't ask!). question is, can share existing software licenses across virtual machine also, or have purchase separate ones?

because running win7 on cpu has hardware virtualisation enabled, have option of using windows xp mode, virtualised copy of xp licenced, don't need licence it.

if want setup separate virtual machine running xp yes, need separate licence xp itself.

if sourced copy of vs through msdn subscription per user, can install multiple times. if bought single copy of vs licence per machine (which includes virtual machines).
